Sè Lenginsk

This once obscure city is now famous for the long confrontation between China and Russia, and Zhukov has been leading his 700,000-strong army here to confront Bai Chongxi's 300,000-strong army here for almost a year.

During the year, both sides seemed to have returned to the era of trench warfare in the First World War, and both sides were constantly reinforcing their fortifications, as if this was not enough to dispel the psychological fear. The endless fortifications stretched for hundreds of kilometers around the city of Sèlenginsk, trying to protect themselves and kill the enemy as much as possible.

Bai Chongxi and Zhukov are like two evenly matched boxers in the ring, both sides are cautiously looking at each other, they are protecting themselves with their hearts, and at the same time looking at their opponents' flaws. Wait for the other party to show their flaws, and then pounce on them, and then kill the other party in one fell swoop.

Snowflakes have begun to fall in Siberia in November, and the climate conditions in this so-called 'penal colony' are still so harsh that relentless snowflakes and biting cold winds can sneak into your clothes from anywhere you don't expect. Nature is fair, it does not favor anyone because of your camp, they will not hesitate to suck the only remaining heat in your body, take away your health, limbs and even life.

Both China and Russia learned a lot from this protracted confrontation, and the Russians learned that the Chinese people opposite them were not synonymous with a pigtail on the back of their heads, cowardly and incompetent, and they also possessed the qualities of a good soldier, tenacious, tenacious, and not afraid of sacrifice.

The Chinese soldiers here also saw the multifaceted drunkenness, bravery, tenacity, and warlike manners of the Slavs, who were addicted to alcoholism, bravery, tenacity, and warfare.

The sky was not yet bright, and the stars in the gray sky were still shining faintly, and Fan Bingbing, who was still asleep at this time, was woken up from his sleep by Cheng Kai.

"Fan Bingbing, hurry up! It's time to patrol," a loud voice sounded in Fan Bingbing's ears, waking everyone in the room up.

"Hurry up you slackers, it's time to patrol, if I don't see you outside in five minutes, I'll push you all into the snow for a winter bath, and promise that you all have jīng gods." Cheng Kai's voice was still so loud that even the nearby barracks could hear it.

This is a remote Xiǎo village more than 100 kilometers from Sèlenginsk, and it is also the station of Cheng Kai's 6th Tank Company. Due to the large number of troops on the frontal battlefield of Sèlenginsk, but there were no major battles, the dignified 2nd Panzer Division was assigned to the vicinity to take charge of patrolling.

In a roar, six armored personnel carriers and eight Northwest Tiger tanks slowly drove out of the camp and headed for the prescribed patrol route.

Since Su Tong fought with the Japanese in the Northeast and Vladivostok, the Zhukov clique, which was originally quite peaceful, began to move stupidly again. They constantly sent troops to disturb the rear line of Sèlenginsk, and even reached Ulan-Ude, anyway, Siberia is so big, no one can really take such a big place.

The Russians constantly disturbed the rear line of the Chahar army, bombing an oil depot today and ambushing a convoy tomorrow, this kind of sparrow tactics really gave Bai Chongxi a headache, so he had to send mobile patrol detachments to patrol more on various major roads.

The tank drove on the bumpy road, and the constantly shaking and shaking body drove the little drowsiness that Fan Bingbing had left out of the clouds. As the vanguard of the whole company, the heavy responsibility of observing the road conditions in front and the enemy's situation fell on his shoulders.

"0036, report the road conditions ahead and the surrounding information!" The voice of company commander Cheng Kai came from the headset.

The white snowflakes kept falling in front of Fan Bingbing's observation lens, which greatly affected his vision. Wiping the lenses of the fog with his sleeve, Fan Bingbing complained: "0036 didn't find the target, hell, it's not dawn yet, two hundred meters in front of me is simply a fog, and I can't see anything in the gray." ”

"Watch and report immediately." Cheng Kai also knew that his vision was not good now, so he asked as usual and then stopped asking.

This procession shuttled through the mí fog until the bright fog dissipated. However, when the troops stopped, Fan Bingbing found that the surrounding scenery was not the patrol area he was familiar with.

"Head, it looks like we're going in the wrong direction, this is sub-controlled territory." During the break, Fan Bingbing said ashamedly to Cheng Kai, who had been frowning and looking at the map.

As a leading car, it was a shame to throw the convoy in the wrong direction.

Cheng Kai didn't pay attention to him immediately, and only raised his head after a long time and said, "Judging from the direction and speed of our travel, we should be here, more than 30 kilometers behind the Soviet position, this is the place of the son, we have to go quickly, otherwise we won't be able to walk until the quilt is found." ”

"But we can't go the way we came, it's taking too long. We have to go from this side, we have to pass through a place called Puning Village, and then we have to walk twenty miles to our defense area. ”

Time was urgent, Cheng Kai and Fan Bingbing immediately started the tank and drove in the other direction, and the sound of the rumbling diesel engine resounded in the wilderness.

After the troops marched for half an hour, the shadow of a xiǎo village appeared in Fan Bingbing's telescope, "Lianza, we have found the village in front, we have arrived at Puning Village." Hey! No, how can there be so many tanks and vehicles here? Damn it! Everyone, stop now, come over quickly, something is wrong! Fan Bingbing's hurried voice came from the headset.

Hearing Fan Bingbing's exclamation, Cheng Kai hurriedly ordered the troops to stop the tank and come to Fan Bingbing's side.

"Lianza, look at it, how can there be so many tanks and vehicles in front, and so many personnel, I roughly counted them, there are more than two hundred, which is almost the size of an armored division." Fan Bingbing's face was very bad, no matter who it was, he would not feel good when he found that he was being held against a sharp knife on his waist.

In this small Xiǎo village, the tanks of the Soviet army are neatly arranged, and the tanks are covered with white camouflage nets, and there are faint figures and vehicles moving in the woods behind the Xiǎo village.

Cheng Kai held the telescope and looked very slowly and carefully. After a long time, he let out a long breath and said with a solemn expression: "We have never seen these tank models, it seems that they are new tanks, such a sharp tank division is not placed on the frontal battlefield of Sèlenginsk, but placed on our flanks, what do they want to do?" ”

Cheng Kai and Fan Bingbing glanced at each other, and a trace of horror flashed in their eyes at the same time, "Sneak attack!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be more follow-up units behind this tank unit."

Rows of sweat oozed from Cheng Kai's forehead, and he eagerly ordered Fan Bingbing, "Immediately telegraph the situation here to the command headquarters and tell Chief Bai that 100,000 is urgent!" Fast! ”

"Yes!"

Ulan-Ude command

"Report, urgent report from the front, our army has a tank xiǎo detachment of the mí road found a large number of Soviet tank units in a xiǎo village located on the flank of our army, at least one tank division, according to the estimation of the people of the xiǎo detachment, there should be more troops behind this tank division."

The staff officer's urgent report startled Bai Chongxi, who was signing a document, and he immediately got up and stood in front of the large map hanging on the wall.

Bai Chongxi asked in a deep voice, "What is the name of that village?" ”

"Puning Village, right here, is less than twenty miles away from the defense line of our 30th Division." The staff officer walked over to the map and pointed the commander in the right direction.

"Hehe, a large number of troops have quietly moved to my flank, and even our reconnaissance planes have not found it, and the concealment work has been done so well, it seems that Zhukov is not trying to do it! Do you want to make a surprise attack with a strong army? Bai Chongxi said with a smile on his lips, but a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

Bai Chongxi looked at the map and broke out in a cold sweat, if the Soviet Russians were to take their tank divisions as the vanguard, and a large number of follow-up troops would then advance to the depth of our army's position, then the entire defense line of Sèlenginsk would be torn apart by Zhukov with a large army in one fell swoop, and he would have to lead his troops to retreat to Ulan-Ude, or even Chita. The main thing is in case the 300,000 Siberian Army Group led by himself is wiped out by Zhukov.......

As soon as Bai Chongxi thought of this, he felt his heart twitch violently, almost all of the jīng rui of Chahar led by himself, if it was lost in his hands, then Su Tong's huge territory that he had beaten before would be lost. And he will also become Chahar, not a sinner for the ages in China!

No, that must not be allowed to happen.

Bai Chongxi calmed down and opened his mouth to order: "Order the 2nd Air Division to take off, the 3rd Air Division to be on standby urgently, and the bomber units are all full of bombs, and the tank division in Puning Village must remove the stinger that Zhukov buried next to us." ”

"Also, order all the B17 bombers to be full of bombs and wipe that village called Puning off the face of the earth."

When he said this, Bai Chongxi's face seemed to be covered with yīn clouds: "You go and tell the reconnaissance brigade that if they haven't detected the size of the Soviet army's strength and movement this time, they will wait to go to the court-martial." ”

While Bai Chongxi ordered the air force to be dispatched urgently, he also issued an order to the troops on the front line to be on urgent alert, and transferred two infantry divisions from Ulan-Ude to Sèlenginsk for reinforcements in case of emergency
